Manchester City star Rodri has received praise from Real Madrid and Germany’s Toni Kroos ahead of Germany’s Euro quarter-final match against Spain. At the age of 34, Kroos is preparing to retire from professional football after the European Championship, with Germany set to face Spain in the quarter-finals.
The winner of the Germany vs Spain match will advance to the semi-finals, where they will face either France or Portugal.
